PROCEDURE DESCRIPTION
The operation is performed on an overnight basis under sedation and local or general anesthesia. The procedure is appropriate beginning at age 5 or 6 or at any time thereafter.
RECUPERATION AND HEALING
The ears are usually bandaged with a dressing that wraps around the head for several days. Initial mild postoperative discomfort is easily controlled with oral medication. The ears usually look normal within 10-20 days. Usually, a thin stocking cap or head band is worn at night to protect the ears. Contact sports should be avoided for about 6 weeks.
OTHER OPTIONS
Any facial procedure that is desired or appropriate would enhance the result.
